	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2022 answer text <p>Tackling all forms of domestic abuse, whether or not they involve physical violence, is a priority for this Government.</p><p>That is why we introduced our landmark Domestic Abuse Act in 2021. The Act strengthens our protection to victims and ensures perpetrators feel the full force of the law. It includes the first legal definition of domestic abuse, improved support for victims in the courts, a new offence of non-fatal strangulation and an extension of the controlling or coercive behaviour offence.</p><p>More recently, in March 2022, we went even further and published our Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan which seeks to transform the whole of society’s response in order to prevent offending, support victims and pursue perpetrators, as well as to strengthen the systems processes in place needed to deliver these goals.</p><p>This Plan, backed by over £230 million, commits to exploring options for a register to manage the most harmful domestic abusers, to providing support services with multi-year funding, with £47 million ringfenced for community-based support services, and funding for police training and development of a ground-breaking algorithm to help police better target the most harmful serial domestic abusers.</p><p>We are now in the process of delivering these commitments.</p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 12/07/2022 15:04:36 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2022 answer text <p>There are currently no plans to reverse the decision to reduce the number of regular Army personnel to 73,000 by 2025.</p><p>The Integrated Review and Defence Command Paper made clear that we must focus on Defence capability rather than troop numbers in response to changing threats and priorities. The British Army will be more integrated and active, with a whole force of over 100,000 regulars and reservists, to address the current and future threats from across the globe.</p><p>Whilst the regular Army reorganises to its new structure of 73,000, naturally this will result in workforce cost savings. This reduction has been estimated to present £3.9 billion in savings over the 10 years following the financial year 2021-22. It should however be recognised more broadly that the department is seeing record investment, providing £41.3 billion to Army support and equipment.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 12/07/2022 11:32:38 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey

The UK became the first country to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism and we have encouraged councils and universities to do the same. We have provided funding for innovative projects, such as Holocaust Educational Trust, to reinforce messages of tolerance for our young people and teach them about the dangers of hate. We have provided over £65 million to date for the Protective Security Grant to help secure Jewish schools, colleges, nurseries, and community sites, including synagogues and we are also working to tackle antisemitism online through the Online Safety Bill.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 12/07/2022 16:28:22 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
